    Dundee v Rangers Off

    Subsequent reports suggest they could have had it playable for a 3pm KO but the lunchtime slot didn’t give them enough time to do the necessary work.

    Handball DOGSO and goalkeeper

    Many variables but reasons I’d still go red in your scenario include the defender making a goalkeeper style save in front of the actual keeper. Others may be deliberately slapping the ball away from an attacker to prevent a shot at goal. Also consider that a red card for a defender for...

    Clash of the toe-tans

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68579553 It’s not a good moment at all for the Women’s game. One of the biggest televised games of the season and somebody drops this huge ricket. Credit to the officiating team for catching this early and not waiving it through because of all the external...

    Second Cautions

    Is it a real reluctance, or just a perception? There is a prevailing myth or mindset among many in football that a player who has been cautioned *must* be cautioned for a second infraction regardless of what it is. I don’t ascribe to this at all. Each offence is and should be judged on its...

    Bishop's Stortford FC v Spennymoor Town FC

    Attacker is never recovering that ball even if not fouled. Overhit because of the condition of the pitch. Caution suffices under those circumstances for me.

    Junior/Youth "i'm a qualified ref!"

    Not sure now how it works with match based suspensions, but used to be the case that if a player totted up enough caution points or even gets a red then that suspension would prevent officiating until it was served.

    Thrown in goal scenario

    1: DFK attacking team. Nobody likely running onto the ball in the incident as described. 2: Play advantage and award the goal; like Peter Encklemann once upon a time. 3: DFK attacking team. There’s an argument for a corner kick having tried to play an advantage, but a harder sell on the...

    I thought it was Pitstone & Ivinghoe at first 😆

    Port Vale v Portsmouth

    Sack the stewards while they’re at it. I saw nobody making an effort.

    That time of year again - thinking about quitting

    I’m temporarily in Northants after returning from overseas. If a friendly-ish face helps at one of your games drop me a line. If I’m available I’ll turn up.

    West Ham Vs Sheffield United

    Seeing this incident for the first time tonight, I immediately recalled the Onana incident at Wolves. I wondered if that had something to do with, a case of lightning striking twice if you will, and making sure these were given. Typing this I had a second thought and just confirmed it. The VAR...

    Sin bins

    FA Vase games were played today. Was this definitely a league game and not a Vase fixture between two sides from this league? That’s the only legitimate reason I can think of for sin bins not being in use.

    Chelsea - Preston

    Thiago Silva goal. Did they really just do a VAR offside check for a goal from a corner?

    I remember the launch 😆

    This is NOT a fan's forum

    All users were told on Friday that fan posts would result in warnings and bans. Tonight a user has not heeded the warning and fallen foul of it for just such a post. We will take action - irrespective of how harsh it may seem. Please take a moment and think before you post.
